It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - July 10

Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday. 

 


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.       

Happy Monday, everyone! We are still on the Outer Banks. Here are a few of last week's photos.

One of my favorite things about vacation is getting real reading time. It's fun to catch up on great books. I also schedule blog posts ahead of time, which makes getting back to our regular schedule easier. 

I finished this devotional for a review that will appear here on July 25. If you want to read the review early, you can find it on Goodreads.


I also finished this book. You can read my review here.


I reviewed this devotional here.


I am reading this novel now.


I am not sure if I will start listening to this one while we are away, but I might.


I need to start these two for August reviews. 



Upcoming virtual book tours:
  • Becoming Flawesome by Kristina Mand-Lakhiani - July 11
  • Single Parents Rock! by Jaret Martino - July 19 (review TC&TBC)
  • The Unempty Spaces Between by Louis Efron - July 20 (review)

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

I've been selected to join Wendi Lou Lee's Launch Team for her new memoir, Red Tail Feathers. I preordered my copy at the end of last month. She also sent along a PDF version of the book so that reviews can be ready around its mid-August release date. 



That's all from my neck of the woods. Not sure what today brings, but I will be sure to check out your blogs and the books you're reading.
